Marvel Rivals is giving away 200 units to everyone as an apology for the server outages, and players are very happy: 'I literally made 200 units in my sleep'

Last night, Marvel Rivals' servers went down. After confirming the issue, NetEase took a bit of time to figure things out and implement a fix. After all was said and done, it took less than an hour, but even still, players have been given some Marvel bux for the inconvenience.

"As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we've credited your account with 200 units as compensation," a post on Marvel Rivals' Discord says. However, in order to claim this gift, players need to log into the game and claim the item from the in-game mail section. It'll only be available to grab until March 11, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later.

You can get units (the blue currency) in-game by either earning them in the premium battle pass or by exchanging lattice (the gold currency) for them. 100 lattice costs £0.89, so buying 200 units would set you back around £1.78. Completing the premium battle pass also only gives you 700 units, so getting 200 free units is a pretty great score if you ask me and well worth a temporary server issue.

It seems like there's plenty of players already putting these units to good use. "I didn’t have any issues either, but now I’m sitting at 2400 units, waiting for a good skin to appear in the shop," another player says. While some hero costumes are pretty expensive, costing up to 2800 units, you can get most standard skins for just 1600.
